Inside the northern cave entrance

23389. One of unsuccessful early tries (there were about 15 in all) to depict the water, spilling from the ceiling down the fault of the thick ceiling stone layers.

23391. The second best version - too much background

23390. The best version - 30 seconds exposure time, illuminated by blinking LED torch, it's spotlight additionally narrowed by hands thus concentrating the ilumination to the jets of sprinkling water.

23394. Lightly inclined calcite layers of the ceiling in the entrance, view from the east, front illumination by a left-right moving LED torch

23395. The same scene, illuminated from the right only

23392. Flowstone-embroidered fountain in the western entrance wall, about 150 cm high (in the middle of the previous two pictures)

23393. Inside view of the northern entrance - it's rim was illuminated by a LED torch from the right.

Parking lot at the end of the Vajzova cesta forest road

23396. A car lost in the forest; it was a quiet late-autumn evening, no other visitors, no bird voices, just the feeble hiss of the road to the east and here and there a distant light of the Jakovica church peeking through the sleet-thinned forest.
